Clean and comfortable but the area is noisy
There is a staffed front desk, but entry is via a key code only, which is inconvenient if your arms are full. Also, you have to memorize the code or have your phone handy to bring up the email. No complaints about the room (king bed version), which was large and clean. It included a full kitchenette, which I did not use it, but would be fantastic for anyone who does not want to eat out every meal. I was at the end of a hall, so it's hard to generalize, but I did not hear noise from other rooms. The elevators are fairly fast, which was nice. One caveat is that there are no outlets next to the bed; i.e., that you can plug your phone into. It's amazing that even hotels that have been recently refurbed do not take this into account The only serious negative is the location: The downtown area is "party central" on Friday and Saturday, with popular bars/restaurants within a block. They seem to acknowledge this by providing free ear plugs in the room. Being in the heart of the city, parking is also expensive. If you do not reserve a spot on-line, you will pay big bucks.

I stay at this location every month as I travel for work. Overall, the condition of the building and rooms are good. However, all the scuff marks and dirty rugs in the rooms bring everything down a notch. The room itself is always pretty clean. Trash right outside the front entrance of the building could be picked up for better curb appeal.

Great (But Scary Steet)
This place was terrific except for one major problem: The street where it is located needed to be more light & scary. I would highly suggest you add bright lights to the entrance. A man was near the door, and I was honestly afraid of him.

Great location, large room.
This was an odd place. A huge apartment that was gorgeous but felt like it was furnished at a thrift store. The bed was not comfortable, there was no tv in the bedroom to unwind. Great location and a full kitchen. I loved it and didn’t love it if that makes sense. So much potential here with some furniture upgrades.

Don’t believe the website
There is a bit of a disconnect between what the website and packaging of the Sonder is vs the reality. This is not a boutique hotel experience wrapped up in a techy/staff-less way. It’s definitely a LOT more rough-around-the-edges travel-suite with hipster aspirations. I think it could have benefitted from being more up-front about that. I may have still stayed with lower expectations. In this case I was pretty let down by overall quality and experience.

I enjoyed my stay but I left my phone in the Uber and that made things rough for me. It could have helped if I had access to a business center to get a message to my family. Instead at 3pm the morning, I attempted to seek assistance from 5 hotels in the neighborhood but all but Cambridge Inn. Something just had to give.
